WORKING OUT YOUR POTENTIAL FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE FUTURE GENERATION:
This world is like a battle field, where by all your strength will in someday, come down and you will pass on. Yes in a battle field, death awaits everyone someday, likewise in this general world. God have not given anyone a warrant to live forever here on earth, hence you ought to have the sense of reasoning that you will definitely die one day, but now the question hanging here is; if you die will the whole world die with you? The truth about this matter is that, there should be people that will take after you, we call them our future generation.
As we can all see that future awaits us, my question now is; what are you doing at the moment for the betterment of this prophesied generation coming after you, it could be your immediate children, grand children or some other people else. I have seen through experience that almost everyone on this earth have a great potential in him, which if put to work, will have a lot to do in preserving for the future. The point here is that many have the seed but few cultivates, so at the time of harvest, the goods will be so minimal, not enough for the people at the present, not to talk about preserving for the future. Yes it also pains a lot that many are in the field but few are able to fight and protect his people.
Everyone in this world who really understood his or her life in a several dimension, should have it in mind that generations are embedded in you and many destiny are hanging around you. Therefore, there is a lot of work to do in order to satisfy all these realities. Like I have made mention earlier, what you need to work for the betterment of your future is already in you; I mean the potential in you, but the point is this; have you even first sat down one day to think on what potential do you have. We talk about destiny every time, what is destiny in layman understanding; it simply means that which naturally dwells in you, waiting to be put to work, so it can manifest and yield you a lot of potential benefits. The glory of any man lies in the manifestation of his destiny. So you have to be understandable here, to know that when I use interchangeably, the word destiny and potential, am still cultivating on the same plot.
There is a lot of hope about the future for any man that is alive and has discovered the area which his destiny lies, for the scripture said; But for anyone who is alive in this world, has a hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion. Sometimes, I see a person wandering around, saying that they are searching for their destiny, jumping from one job to another, that is absolutely rubbish, you find one job which you have the skill, I mean the potential in doing it and you will see how you will flow, working and enjoying your work and making a good step to building a ladder for your future generation. You are not happy about the job you do, because you don’t have the skill in doing it hence you have no passion in it, instead you are after money. But the godly truth in this case, is that you cannot make more money in something you don’t have the skill and passion for it. You gain specific job, you know how to do well and you will make more money, remember the jack of all trade is the master of none.
Now that you have discovered the potential in you, that which you know how to do best, there lies your destiny no matter what! But the problem we have many a time is that we overlook some certain things in which our destiny may come out of it. The truth of the matter is that you must not start pursuing your destiny from something big, you ought to go through processes which might be of little beginning. Anyway, it pains my heart that almost everyone don’t want to start working out their destiny from the ground instead they will like to start at the top, but let me throw this faithful question at you now; can one start the foundation of his building from the roof! We all know that such act is impossible and unimaginable, but why not we learn from such experience. Our problem is that we worry and hurry in this life, thinking that it is the best way to meet up with the future. But please try recall what the Holy book said; “I know the plans I have for you, the plan of good and not of evil, to give you, your expected end. Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own”.
Another dimension that have crippled many destinies in this life is laziness, procrastination or delay and weakness, I think I have discussed something of this nature, in another chapter of this book but I have to talk more about this things, for they have killed many bright and divine destinies. You can find someone who is destined, skilled and very intelligent but devil will approach him with this external factors mentioned above. About such a person, devil will bring weakness and rotten his life with laziness. But let me take your mind to what the scripture said in proverbs; “love not sleep, less thou come to poverty, open thine eyes and thou shall be satisfied with bread. Being lazy will make you poor, but hardworking will make you rich”. However, am happy that we all heard what the Bible said, so it is left for us to choose whether to work hard or we fold our hands and end up in poverty and shame, but that isn’t our inheritance in Christ Jesus. My gladness is that God have given us strength to working hard, we are the one refusing sometimes to be hard working. And the Bible said; I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me.
